ROUTINGROUTING
FRONT BRAKE
It is best to route the cable from the bottom up. Begin by
inserting the end of the cable into the lower hole, feeding
the cable through the fork blade toward the upper hole.
IMPORTANT
To allow for full range of
handlebar movement, it’s
important to always route
the front brake cable on the
outside of the the cables
exiting the ports found on
the headtube. (as shown)

Thread the supplied cable liners over each cable. This will keep the cable liners
from crimping and creating friction during the routing process.
Start by threading the front derailleur cable through the port found on the non-drive
side of the downtube. The cable will exit at the port found on the underside of the
bottom bracket.
Now replicate this step on the drive side for the rear derailleur cable. This cable will
also be exiting the port found on the underside of the bottom bracket.
Once both cables are exiting the port found on the underside of the bottom bracket,
you want make sure they are running parallel to each other before crossing them
over each other a single time.

Once the cables have been crossed over each other once, carefully insert the
cable guide while making sure not to pinch the cables. The front derailleur cable
will run in the slot on the non-drive side, while the rear derailleur cable will run
along the drive side.
Once the cables are place in their proper slot, press the plastic cable guide into the
frame to until the guide sits flush with the underside of the bottom bracket. If you find
any resistance, make sure the cables aren’t being pinched.
Take the front derailleur cable and thread through and under the circled bridge in
the cable guide. Leave a loop of excess cable on the end closest to the headtube.
You will now take the front derailleur cable and thread it into the circled hole, and
out the front derailleur cable port found directly parallel to it on the top of the
bottom bracket shell.

Once the cable has been successfully threaded through, pull it tight while making
sure the remaining cable doesn’t crimp while the loops disappear as the cable is
pulled through.
Now locate the rear derailleur cable that has been previously threaded through and
pull a healthy amount of cable out for the next step.
While keeping a small loop in the cable on outside of the bottom bracket guide,
begin to thread the cable through the circled hole and into the chainstays. If you find
any resistance during this step, twisting the cable can help it find it’s way through the
chainstay cavity.
If the previous step was done properly, the derailleur cable should exit the rear cable
port where you can then pull the cable tight. At this point, your cables have been
successfully routed.
